Le French May has come around again, so, naturally, this month is absolutely rammed with things to do - check out our calendar for the month (P4) in which we’ve covered the best gigs, art shows, club nights and even film releases. On our cover we have French-Vietnamese hip hop instrumentalist Onra, who tells us his story in A-Side (P16), and Melbourne cool kid Courtney Barnett chats to us about her phenomenal new album in B-Side (P20). Oliver Clasper gets up close and personal with house music legend Marshall Jefferson before his set at Club 18 in On The Decks (P32), and our second Aussie act of the issue is up and coming soul act Hiatus Kaiyote (P34). As always, check out our music recommendations in Mixer (P50). French urban artist Invader takes over Hong Kong for the fourth time in Flipside (P24), and we ditch our summer diets in Boom’s Kitchen (P28) with a hearty battle between three of HK’s most popular steak-frites restaurants. Looking for somewhere different to get away? Peruse our guide to the best spots in Yogyakarta for a scenic break (P44), and get your monthly Zodiac fix from Thierry Chow (P62). Our Hidden Tracks section journeys through beauty, drink and music; be sure to check out Sync Sing Sin’s interview with Rinse FM producer Scratcha DVA in Notes from the Underground (P58). It’s going to be a fantastic month - see you around, BOOMers!
